"I agree with state nullification."

Good for you. So just a few States say enough. My question, which hasn't been answered as yet, what would DC do in response?

1. They could with hold their re-distribution of Fed funds. However, the above States could stop their tax receipts to DC.
2. DC sends armed forces into such States to enforce? Ain't gonna happen. No one has that kind of gumption anymore. This is not the 1860's.
3. Deny such States other rights? Good luck with that.
4. Sue? I would love to see such a Constitutional fight. And even if the USSC decided on the side of the abused "commerce clause" and the "welfare clause", the States would still have the "nullification" ability to over-ride, just like any jury.

That above said, I believe DC would back down and our entire Republic could change for the better. It would only take 3 to 5 States to stand firm.

Montana and Tennessee have already passed intra-state laws regarding gun manufacturing and sales in contradiction to Fedgov laws. Texas and Louisiana are looking to do the same. What has DC (AG Holdren) done so far? Nothing? He is scared to fight such, much like the p**sy he represents.

Plus, numerous States have either passed or have resolutions pending to reassert their State sovereignty regarding other issues, healthcare included. Yes, resolutions have no lawful status, but it's a start.

I realize that I'm getting repetitious regarding this issue, but I'm telling everyone I can that States' Rights is our last best hope to stop the marxist takeover in DC.

Demonstrations/protests mean little anymore. There was a time they made a difference...it's long gone.

Study the 9th and 10th Amendments to most wonderful document ever created in the history of mankind! Read what the FF's said in the debates.

It's worth a try. People in Red States need to start tooling up to fight these COMMIES.
